Kalischatarra Flips Over Eriez Drums

Eriez, an Erie, Pa.-based manufacturer to the recycling industry, announces that Chihuahua, Mexico-based Kalischatarra, S. de RL de CV has purchased two Eriez P-Rex permanent rare earth drum magnets to replace two-year-old competitor drums.

Tim Shuttleworth, Eriez president and CEO, says, “This order is a testament to the superiority of P-Rex technologies, considering the existing electro-axial drums were not burned-out, but were simply not performing well.”

Mike Shattuck, Eriez Heavy Industry Project Manager, says, “Current electro-axial drums are still designed using a 20-year-old technology. Electro-axial drums are limited and have several inherit shortcomings when compared to Eriez’ P-Rex Permanent Rare Earth Drum Magnets.”

Eriez says its drums can flip three or more times for easier cleaning.

Shattuck adds, “P-Rex’s sophisticated performance translates into one to two percent more recovery, providing cash flow ROI to justify installation. Another critical cost-saving advantage of P-Rex is the drum’s ability to capture bothersome knuckles and meatballs, preventing them from being missed into the non-ferrous stream where they damage separation equipment and ignite fluff fires.”
 
Kalischatarra reports it is pleased with the results the new drums have produced. Samuel Kalisch of Kalischatarra says, “We noticed improved recovery right away when we placed the first P-Rex Drum into service, so we went ahead and ordered the second as well. With the multiple flipping action, we get a cleaner frag product as well as better recovery.”
